This Video Inspired Me to Train for/Run this Marathon with Team In Training
Team In Training
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team In Training (TNT) is the largest endurance sports training program in the world. Participants raise funds to help find cures for leukemia, lymphoma, and myeloma; in exchange, they receive free, personalized coaching, training clinics and the support and camaraderie of a team. Participants can choose from more than 60 accredited events in the U.S. and abroad. The Society provides airfare and accommodations to their event destinations. A key element of the TNT experience is training in honor of a local blood cancer survivor whose courage provides motivation and inspiration. To learn more about TNT or to attend an informational meeting in your area visit www.teamintraining.org or call 1.800.482.TEAM.
Since Team In Training’s inception in 1988, more than 360,000 participants have raised over $850 million to support the Society’s research and patient services programs. Last year TNT raised $18.5 million dollars through The Nike Women’s Marathon.
People of all ages - from novices to seasoned athletes - participate in Team In Training. Novice athletes succeed in the program with the help of personalized coaching and a supportive and friendly team environment. Everyone participates in honor of a patient, which provides a strong motivation to succeed.
